What to do:
1. Vaccines - stay up to date
2. Rapid tests (RAT)
- if you are symptomatic (even negative RAT), assume you have COVID
- use RAT to confirm you are +
- once symptoms resolve, use test-to-exit:
- best 2 neg. RAT on 2 days
- at least 1 neg. RAT if you can't

3. Masks - wear respirators as much as possible (N95, KN95, KF94 or equivalent). If you can't get one, use a surgical mask with knot & tuck, but it's an inferior option.
4. Clean the air: (always do this, but if there's COVID, go all out)
- go outside
-open windows...

...In the winter, at least crack open. Otherwise, use fans in the windows to increase circulation.
- run HEPA filters or #corsirosenthalbox . Best place is the room you're in. The more the merrier.
- run exhaust fans if windows are open.

- put a Filtrete 1900 filter in your furnace and run it all the time
- if it's dry, run humidifiers to keep relative humidity at 40%. Especially bedrooms.
5. Infected person should go into isolation room if possible.

6. If you are sharing rooms (like washroom or dining room), especially without masks, clean the air + wait to air it out between uses. And close the lid before you flush!
If you know how it spreads, you know how to stop it.
Exposure is inevitable, infection isn't.
